I'm interested in hybridizing arisaemas because I like a lot of them, but
can't grow them in my garden conditions, except for flavum which comes
from the drier side of the Himalayas.  The others are doing OK in pots,
but I would like to produce some hybrids that will do OK in the garden.
Every time one flowers, I try to find some pollen, but haven't found any
yet.  Should it be there when the flower is newly open or after a while?
